I don’t have a priest and wanted to make one. I’d also like to use an Ally race that I don’t currently use. Which would be either of the 3 in my subject.
I’m leaning toward Void Elf > LF Draenei > DI Dwarf…
Wondering what what the priests here think?
If dracthyr priest didn’t feel so dang good and I had to chose Id say probably say D I Dwarf or Void Elf.
really? Dracthyr? didn’t even consider
I race changed from human to Dracthyr and it was a night and day difference, I actually feel pretty mobile and knockbacks are now nullified.
Priest definitely feels like a more complete class as Dracthyr imo.
What they said
Dracthyr jump/glide movement is slightly faster than running, plus it works as a knockback prevent. It’s also very thematic to priest it feels and it feels like a super updated levitate. Which I love.
98% of the time I am in visage form too unless it kicks me out - so most of the time it’s like being an extra mobile blood elf or something lol. Dracthyrs really need mog options though imo. More Visage forms/races would be cool too.
On a disc priest it really removes the clunky/meh mobility for me and made the class fun to play again.
Slight mastery buff too is nice because I went Oracle.
Dwarf racials are pretty strong, void elf is also pretty good post buffs too though. All good choices tbh,
Of the options you gave, I think go with whichever feels right. LFD is big. My priest is a nightborne and although I love how she looks, she feels big and clunky. Void elf looks best (imo) in shadow form if you plan to dps at all. Obviously I’m partial to DIDs, they are the right size and look good in most mogs.
However, the correct answer is, as people have pointed out, Dracthyr.
As a void elf priest main (and DI Dwarf paladin), I’d say that velf and DI Dwarf are about equal, depending on what you’re doing. DI dwarf’s racial Fireblood is pretty solid way to remove a lot of negative effects. The velf teleport is niche, but can be clutch when needed. I do have a LF Draenei monk (because hoofing people in the face amuses me), and…well, it just doesn’t offer much to a priest.
That said dracthyr > all of the above.
IMO:
LF D - Thematic/lore wise
VELF - TRansmog
DI Dwarf - Min maxing for M+/raiding just cus of their racial
I would definitely choose Dracthyr, in fact I changed my priest and warlock to Dracthyr. But from the options you mentioned, I think I would go with DID.
LGD, males are weird, and the race doesn’t fit with the shadow aesthetic.
Velfs are cool both male and female, but they look terrible when the racial is activated and they turn purple.
DID They are cool, the males are kind of ugly but they are better than the draenei.
